Alexandra is an outside-Boston born actor, dancer, movement director and writer. After studying Dance and Theatre at Manhattanville College, she started her time in New York City dancing alongside greats like Gus Solomons Jr for Lawrence Goldhuber, and has danced at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater, HERE Arts Center, LaMama, and onscreen at Lincoln Center’s Dance on Camera Festival. Having been consistently cast as the dancer who would monologue, she took this as a sign that she should probably study acting. She began her training with a private two year Meisner study with James Brill of the Neighborhood Playhouse. After several years of performing at venues like The Connelly Theater, The Cutting Room, and The Tank, she began her training at LAMDA where she recently received her MFA in Classical Acting. In addition to her upcoming projects, she currently assists Nancy Meckler in her continued direction of the Olivier nominated A Streetcar Named Desire ballet. She’s big on DIY projects she probably won’t ever finish, believes she can fix absolutely anything with little to no technical training, and you can call her Lex, but please don’t call her Alex.
